So you're saying that instead of polling the Python server from Flex UI every N seconds, I could do the opposites and 'push' updates (via XMLSocket request-response behavior) from Python server to Flex UI?
That would be far better than polling the poor Python server since the Python server is aware when it has new data so the Flex UI doesn't have to bug it needlessly every N seconds!
Please let me know if that would work
Thanks

Well, XMLSocket doesn't need to be a push solution, i.e. you can always
receive events/messages. Of course you would have some issues on the
client side because firewalls etc. I suppose you have control the
client-side.

I am not sure what for example you want, but within some months their will
be plenty of examples (python, java, C# and hopefully C++) in a book ;-)
